What are the potential health and safety concerns related to 230kV transmission lines, specifically regarding electromagnetic fields (EMF)?
2025-08-12Answer: Public concern regarding electromagnetic fields (EMF) from high-voltage transmission lines is a common issue. While studies have shown that field intensities drop significantly with distance, proper design is crucial to minimize any potential risk. This includes maintaining adequate right-of-way and ensuring correct conductor spacing and ground clearances.
Our power line construction equipment and safety tools are designed to help our clients meet and exceed international safety standards. We emphasize the use of appropriate stringing methods to achieve the correct sag and tension, which helps maintain the designed clearance from the ground and other structures. Our commitment to safety extends to providing high-quality insulated tools and personal protective equipment for all personnel working on these high-voltage lines.
